ABSTRACT
The study investigated the relationship between professional awareness and job satisfaction among secondary school teachers in Rivers State of Nigeria. Nine research questions and seven null hypotheses were generated to guide the study. The population of the study comprised the 3,460 teachers in the public secondary schools in Rivers State. The sample consisted of 692 teachers who were selected through proportionate stratified random sampling technique based on location and gender distribution of the teachers in the population. The questionnaire was used for collection of data. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while the t-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient statistics were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed moderate professional awareness among the teachers. The respondents did not show satisfaction with their job. A significant low positive relationship existed between professional awareness and job satisfaction. Gender and years of experience had no significant influence on the teachers’ professional awareness rating scale, while school location showed a significant difference in their ratings. Gender influenced the ratings of the teachers on job satisfaction, while years of experience and school location did not. The implication of the findings is that teaching is yet to enjoy the status and prestige which other professions enjoy seventeen years after the establishment of Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN). This situation could be one reason for the problem of education in Nigeria. Among the recommendations made were: TRCN should control the mode of entry and period of training of teachers to ensure high standard of entry. Recruitment of teachers should be based on certification by the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN). The Rivers State Government should implement the Teachers Salary Structure (TSS) and ensure good working conditions and promotion opportunities for the teachers.
